What do we get from Taylor this year?

I am asking those who have seen him.   Does he see freshman/Juan minutes?   Freshman/Mayo minutes?   Is he skilled enough to let CO come back slowly?   Which means double digit minutes right away, occasionally seeing time at the 4 while JWilson slides to the 5?

He will see significant minutes. I think Otule/Gardner play 30 minutes at center. That leaves 10, which will either be filled by J. Wilson moving over or by Taylor. Taylor will get most of the 4  minutes not played by Wilson. Although I could see Buzz going to a smaller linup in some situations with a Blue, Wilson and Lockett front line. I believe Taylor plays ahead of Anderson.

I believe he will play a ton of minutes and be impact player in second half of season.

That is contrary to most freshmen. For example Blue and Mayo played well as freshmen until they got to Big East schedule.

I think he ends up around 10 mpg, maybe a little less. I know people see a lot of time for him, but I just don't see where. I think Vander, Junior, Lockett, and Jamil will all be around 30 mpg guys. Let's say 110 between the 4 of them. Add in another 35 between CO and DG. Mayo I see getting around 20 and Derrick Wilson around 10 (mostly anytime Junior's not out there). Add that up and you have 175 minutes between the top 7 guys. That leaves 25 minutes for Juan, Steve, Jake, and Jamal. Even if Steve takes the bulk of those, more than 15 mpg with our rotation would be a huge accomplishment.
